Led by Artistic Director Carol Bartlett since 1988, with dance visionary Barbara Weisberger, artistic advisor since 2001, Peabody Dance has substantially invigorated its curriculum and greatly enhanced its reputation. In all cases, the heart of Peabody Dance’s philosophy is the expectation that all students, whether they are professional aspirants or children and mature adults exploring the joys of dancing, will have the opportunity to reach their own desired level of achievement. In return, an internationally respected faculty and artistic staff are dedicated to meeting the needs of their students on an individual basis and to offering them exemplary training, inspiration and encouragement. Program Options The exceptional Peabody Summer Dance 2012 programs offer a full range of instruction, taught by Peabody Dance’s outstanding faculty and notable guest artists. They are designed to accommodate all students who wish to continue their dance training with concentrated study — from complete beginners to professional-level aspirants — and the extraordinary diversity of training option ranges from classes for young children to a Refresher Intensive for students in the highest levels. • The Five-Week Intensive – June 18-July 20: full-day training for students ages 7 to young adult. • The Young Children’s Program – June 18-July 28: classes for students ages 3-6. • All-Boys Classes – June 18-July 28: for male students ages 9-15 with one year or more of previous training. • Evening Classes for Teens and Adults – June 18-July 28: for all levels of students ages 13 and up. • The Refresher Intensive – August 6-17: a pre-regular season intensive for serious intermediate and advanced students.

Placement and Registration All students, both new and continuing, should review the most current detailed information about Peabody Dance’s program available at www.peabody.jhu.edu/dance, or contact Peabody Dance at 410-234-4626 or by email at dance@peabody.jhu.edu with any questions, prior to official registration through the Preparatory Office. New Student Placement Peabody Dance generally requires a placement class for all new students with previous training in order to ascertain the student’s proper class level in a particular program. At the time of placement, faculty will advise on program and class selection according to student ability and interest. Specific placement requirements for each program are included in the program descriptions that follow. Placement classes may be arranged on an individual basis by calling the Peabody Dance office at 410-234-4626 or emailing dance@peabody.jhu.edu to schedule a convenient time. Continuing Student Placement All Peabody Dance students enrolled during the 2011- 2012 regular Fall/Spring season will be advised of their placement for Summer Dance 2012 by the faculty. Parents may contact the Dance Office to request a parent/teacher conference to hear details of their child’s progression but should not attend any new-student placement sessions. Registration Students are urged to register early in order to ensure a place in class. Class size is limited, and classes may fill early. Those who require a placement class may register with guidance from the Dance Office, as soon as a class is arranged, to hold a spot until they can be placed. When placed, students receive a placement slip that must be submitted to the Preparatory Office. In order to be admitted into a class, and to avoid incurring any late payment fees, all students must register through the Peabody Preparatory Office in accordance with the published registration deadlines.
